bleeding in the southern shiverpeaks

i have searched and have found nothing on this subject. it seems lately <last couple of weeks> that every time we encounter the summits, we encounter massive bleeding, and within seconds our whole party is bleeding out. is this a new thing? or is this just happening for me? my usual party is a friend<me/mo> and i <r/e> w/henchies, we are ascended and have the forges armor. any help or insight is very welcome.

Stone summit rangers have Melandru's Arrows.

They cause bleeding for X seconds and do Y amount of extra damage if the target has an enchantment on him.

go get a protection monk

Or a monk that has a better idea of what conditions are.

Martyr + mend ailment= temporary bleeding relief

Restore condition is an excellent protection skill in the Southern Shiverpeaks.

Both Restore Condition and Martyr are capped in the Rong of Fire though... (Irrelevant if the OP is just playing there for fun, and not doing the missions)

what is sad is that we have been thru this area many times and it just seems like the bleeding has gotten REALLY bad in the past 2 weeks.
we do bring the healer and protection henchies with us, they just don't seem able to keep up now.
have not been to the ring of fire yet. so those elites are out for the time being.
